No. 4 Seahawks steamroll over Raiders in road debut

The opening kickoff from Laurens looked like a bad omen for No. 4-ranked Myrtle Beach in Friday night’s road opener. But the rest of the game was all Seahawks.

After a miscue in the return game pinned Myrtle Beach on its own goal line in front of a loud Laurens crowd, the Seahawks (2-0) proceeded to hush the home fans at every turn, beginning with a 99-yard touchdown drive. Quarterback Luke Doty capped the opening march on a 10-yard TD pass to Chunk Grissett – the first of three TD hookups between the two in the first half.

Myrtle Beach running back scored Jermani Green scored on a 1-yard TD drive as the Seahawks took a 28-0 halftime lead for the second consecutive week. Myrtle Beach blew up a fake punt attempt early in the third quarter and Green cashed in on a 20-yard TD run that put the Seahawks on top 35-0. Green got his hat trick on a weaving 52-yard TD run for a 42-0 lead.

The Myrtle Beach defense finally gave up its first points of the season on the last play of the third quarter – a shutout span of 84 minutes – on a short pass that turned into a 76-yard TD pass for the Raiders (1-1) to make it 42-6.

The Seahawks rolled up 471 total yards with Doty, a junior South Carolina commit, completing 23 of 32 passes for 280 yards and three TDs to Grissett, who caught 7 passes for 124 yards. Green finished with 16 carries for 141 yards and three TDs. Myrtle Beach still hasn’t turned the ball over this season.
